Cable Assn. The weather was fine but hot. and there was a small attendance. The wicket was wearing well. The South Africans, in their second innings, occupied 375 minutes, and made a gallant effort, to save the match. The first wicket fell to a marvellous right-hand catch by Chapman at second slip after the ball had actually passed him. The second wicket fell from an unfortunate run out of Dean, who was lame. Catterall took under 200 minutes to compile his total, and gave chances at 41 an 104 to Woolley and Kilner. He hit two sixes and fifteen fours. His play was often sparkling and his hard driving was picturesque and the best seen in Engla'nd in the last- two years. The South Africans’ hatting in the second innings was genuinely as solid and masterly as the English. England's bowling was light and unimpressive, with the exception of Cilligan’s and Tate’s. The others, on a good wicket, were unable to keep clown runs. —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
